"Perhaps a revolution can overthrow autocratic despotism and profiteering or power-grabbing oppression, but it can never truly reform a manner of thinking; instead, new prejudices, just like the old ones they replace, will serve as a leash for the great unthinking mass."
— Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) "Answering the Question: What is Enlightenment?," Berlinische Monatsschrift (December 1784)
